Christina Aguilera To Front New Jewelry Collection

Christina Aguilera scores a jewelry deal. The pop singer has been tapped to front jewelry designer Stephen Webster's new collection of sterling silver styles, which is inspired by the singer herself.

"She was a real coup for us," Webster says of the 27-year-old new mom.

"She's our longest-term regular client and the right age for the brand. We think she's in the most glamorous period of her life right now, and she is the main source of inspiration behind the collection."

Aguilera, who has been one of the jewelries' biggest fans, is also happy about her new endorsement deal.

"Working together on this campaign and collection has been an incredible experience," the singer tells WWD. "I am honored to be a part of it all."

The collection named Stephen Webster Silver Collection will feature two 50-piece ranges named Shattered, which is inspired by Gothic church windows, and Superstud, which has a punkier edge. The sets will be launched at Baselworld in Basel, Switzerland next month. After the premiere of the jewelries, they will then be marketed internationally.
